''Werewolves on Wheels'', AKA ''Angel Warriors II''

==Summary==


"This gang thought it was tough... 'til it found a new type of hell... the bride of Satan!" When a biker gang visits a monastery dedicated to a cult of devil worshipers, they rescue a woman who will be sacrificed as the bride of Satan, and incur the curse of the cult, discovering that one of their number is a werewolf, and the gang is being slaughtered by the monster, one by one!

==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: R (mild Violence, mild Adult Content and Profanity, brief Nudity)

===Tentacle Ratings===

A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

Not very Lovecraftian, but it does have a groovy cult of satanic hippy monks, and the whole biker-werewolf thing feels roughly like a goofy but fun left-over idea from the ''[[Night Stalker (1972 franchise)]]'', dialed up to an 'R' rating with content borrowed from a ''Rosemary's Baby'' style satanic horror movie or inspired by British folk horror......

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of
how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''

===Reviews===

Review Links:
* Kyle Anderson at The Nerdist, ([http://nerdist.com/schlock-awe-werewolves-on-wheels/ link]) - "There was so much potential for insanity here, but Werewolves on Wheels is little more than just a meandering exercise in shoving two genres together with only the thinnest strand to connect them. None of the acting is very good, the writing is kind of nothing, and the horror is about as unhorrifying as it gets. The opening sequence is pretty impressive, though, I will admit that...."
* Richard Scheib at Moria film reviews, ([http://www.moria.co.nz/horror/werewolvesonwheels.htm link]) - "For the most part Werewolves on Wheels does a fine job of presenting itself as a serious biker movie... When it comes to the werewolf half of the premise, Michel Levesque interestingly keeps the werewolf attacks all off-screen - this has the effect of transcending the film's undeniable schlock premise and treating the concept with a seriousness that is very different to what one expects of the film. Ultimately though, the downside of this is also an avoidance of the premise – the werewolf is on screen so little that the only dramatic thing for the film to do is play a game of whodunnit in trying to work out which of the gang is the werewolf...."
* Michael Den Boer at 10,000 Bullets, ([http://10kbullets.com/reviews/werewolves-on-wheels/ link]) - "Overall ''Werewolves on Wheels'' tries to mix too many genres into one cohesive film and what we are left with is a highly entertaining but flawed film...."
